The Kansas high school baseball season kicks off on Mar. 20, opening day for regular season action under KSHSAA regulations. Leading up to opening day, we’ll be publishing our team previews ahead of the 2025 spring season, touching on programs spanning all state classifications, counting down to the official Prep Baseball Kansas Preseason Power 25 Rankings.

Perennially, we’ve submitted a preseason questionnaire to high school head coaches across the entire state. Their responses have been flooding in and we’re using the detailed insight they’ve provided in our team-by-team preseason analysis.

Our 2025 preseason coverage continues today.

Coach’s Insight: “We have experience returning and solid pitching depth returning with our #1 Commerford and our #2 Elliott, guys who played key roles a year ago. Tucker Ruyle will fill our #3 slot. Defensively we will be solid again this year. We have to be more consistent at the plate. We struggled last year at times with runners in scoring position. We have to do a better job of putting the ball in play in these situations. ” – Kyle Green, head coach
